lyrics

Home shrugging off the years
Working in the rag trade
Always the tension or the bobbin
Smoking menthol Consulate

Two Cortinas on the drive
Dad's in engineering
Dud match back in with the others
Set the box on fire

In the outskirts of the city
Fourteen stops from town

One more fancy pigeon down
Hanging from the cat's mouth
Wrapped in a towel in the coal house
Waiting for deliverance

Four new ways to be a stranger
In a strange land
Refugee and dusky maiden
Children in the garden

In the outskirts of the city
Fourteen stops from town

Nice couple on the corner
Keeping to themselves
Good with secateurs and shears
Like to keep it tidy

But the smell lingers in your clothes
It gets into your hairdo
Time to retire the deep fryer
Waiting for the ending

In the outskirts of the city
Fourteen stops from town
